Myself and my partner stayed for two nights to celebrate my partner's birthday. We booked through Trivago and got an excellent deal, which we upgraded to a suite on arrival for £35 per night. The room was beautiful, and my partner was more than happy with his complimentary decanter of whiskey, however our stay was somewhat spoiled by being woken... More

We stayed in the Glasshouse in February and were totally charmed. They thought of everything.! The view was magnificent from our roof terrace and our room was fantastic Have no hesitation in recommending this boutique hote. We are very fussy people and couldn't find a fault. The only thing I would say that breakfast is overpriced, but if you book... More

This boutique hotel is well situated near the east end of Princes street at the top of Leith Walk. Our suite (we were upgraded!) was extremely comfortable, and the very large veranda was a bonus (the weather prevented us from using it!). Afternoon tea in the snug was delicious, and there was a complimentary decanter of Talisker in our room. More

The hotel was in a great location and is very exclusive, the room was beautiful and the layout was really unique with the Double bed being in the middle of the room, the en-suite bathroom was also very stylish. The bedrooms overlook a beautiful modern communal Garden overlooking Calton Hill and you can sit outside your room on the Garden... More

My partner and I booked the Glasshouse on the back of the reviews and from their own website as a special place to go to celebrate our recent engagement. We are not an overly fussy couple and we travel and use hotels a great deal and our philosophy is 'you get what you pay for' also we never put reviews... More

We arrived for a two night stay in one of there suites for the weekend as it was our anniversary. We usually stay at the Malmaison down Leith walk but decided to try something different. The suite we were given was the Talisker Suite. People had complained about the noise of traffic etc....we just shut the window and it was... More

Great hotel, nice staff. Very friendly and accomodating. Was there one night for work travel. Awesome room, great bathroom. Only downside - checking in and out takes a few minutes. So be ready to wait and be patient. Nice view outside. I'd absolutely stay there again. Not sure if there's a gym, didn't go. More

Befor our arrival we asked for a nice room as our trip was for a special occasion. The room was just amazing! Huge bathroom with bath and shower, small terrace, king bed, beautiful view on the hills from the roof terrace. The staff is really nice and professionnal and the location is great. Just one small bad point, there was... More
